This video is great because it’s such a simple, coherent, and easy to digest overview of both OneDrive and SharePoint. Great job! 👏🏼

[@DeyChoozN]

Great and simple explanation. Thanks!

[@alexmcleod3883]

Incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@padraigr9305]

Thanks Matt for this explanatory video. Is it fair to say that setting up Sharepoint is beyond the skills of micro businesses ?

[@xseba1x]

Great video, you have covered all main differences :), I would only add one information: In sharepoint online you can purchase additional storage and in OneDrive for business you can only increase storage in Plan 2 and at least with 5 licensed users in your organization, but thats technical difference.

[@CollaborationCoach]

Great tip!

[@LlamaOates]

Good point. Thank you sharing that tip with us.

[@johnlaliberte8126]

Would it be bad to use SharePoint for all of your personal documents so you can take advantage of some features that SharePoint has that are not included in OneDrive. For example, when you are viewing the list of documents in SharePoint you have an option to Add Column that could be used to add more organization to your files.

outstanding thanks

[@emanuelepeartrees]

thank you for the video. A little question: Can I use onedrive to sync my sharepoint files on my laptop?

[@CollaborationCoach]

Yes you can. Any SharePoint library or folder.

[@FisherManGr]

Can you be a member of more than one group? and also for each group is there a limitation in the space where we upload files?

[@TheGeneraltigre]

Thanks

[@iwidanage9703]

Great video.. clearly explained.. superb. good luck

[@CollaborationCoach]

Thank you

[@DroidKnight]

Thank you for this video. Is it possible to share the main folder and restrict access to certain subfolders ? Looking for a cloud replacement solution for Shared drives on Windows Server. Thanks

[@noshortcuttoglory6443]

Hey Matt, I have a question. I couldn't upload large files on my tenants one drive while I can still upload small word documents. Is it because of space?

[@kaushikrawat]

You may check the default storage from OneDrive Admin Center and max file size limit as per your plan

[@bbtheatre]

Is there a way to sync a folder on your onedrive with a folder in Sharepoint?

[@xseba1x]

If it is not "build by default" option, then my guess would be using PowerAutomate to do that, its only my suggestion.

[@AlphaNovemberHotel651]

I take it there is a separate fee for both? Microsoft website information is very vague when it states "1 TB of cloud storage." For what platform? Sharepoint or OneDrive. Or both? Or neither?

[@sandipansarkar9211]

finished watching

[@momoza2118]

Thank you for sharing and explaining it so plainly. One question, can you edit a word document on shared point without downloading it?

[@CollaborationCoach]

Yes you can edit it in the browser without downloading it.

[@LivingInCloud1]

@@CollaborationCoach Not in all cases, for example in some situations where you have used Sensitivity Labels on the document.

[@queenieeleanoraguilarflore6171]

I have a question, Can I share my PowerPoint in Ms teams meeting through onedrive.

[@CollaborationCoach]

Yes

[@engrzafarahmed]

OneDrive is just a software which allows you to access files on SharePoint and make it look as if the file are stored on your local computer. You can have public as well as team files on OneDrive, depending on which folders you sync on your OneDrive from SharePoint. So saying that OneDrive is for private files only is inaccurate.

is it rainbow party here?

[@LivingInCloud1]

OneDrive is Sharepoint

[@danmcclaren5436]

my company moved Box to Sharepoint/OneDrive. Worst decision ever.
